Rock_Powerfist

Ed's raw power rapidly overthrew the best efforts of cyberhammers and lighting bolts , three broke freaks lay in the racid sewer stream and Ed move forward ...

... the next group were stronger , four in number , the Smasher sending Edward flying backward into a sewer wall with his Hammer Klap , a rapid mass of razor sharp blades forcing Edward regenative power to activate to close up a number of gashes , still Edward overcame all four , adding to the filth flaoting along the sewers channel.....

Onward Edward and is hit by a long range electrical Zapp , again his power acted to close the wound , still Ed felt a slight weaking as the bolt scored it hit from out of the deep darkness ahead , moving fast between what scant cover the sewer offerd Edward saw the next two bolts miss , but ripping chunks from the sewer wall , suddenly he was at a cross way , the sniper Freak sat oppersite but from the right came two more Freaks , a floating Jucier dropping a Ball of electrical baddness over Ed , as a spinning sawblade missed by a wide margin , Ed blocked and smash down the Swiper Freak with a fast blow to the face .. again the Snipers Zapp hit home , spining Ed on the scum slick flooring , the floating Jucier now switched to a tight lighting bolt , catching Ed on his metal arm ...

But now Ed was at the Sniper Freak , and ripped him apart in a flurry of blows , metal and flesh truely blending as the fingers of Edward tore into the Freak , the Jucier using its hover to try to keep some distance manages one more bolt , a miss, before Ed reach out and shuts down the Freaks power backpack , two more blows and the freak is turn off.....

Edward sucks in air as his regen rebuild his damaged mussles and skin , and nealry crys out , as the Swiper drives both blades into Ed's back , having risen unseen the Freak has taken his chance ..... the two blades rip and tear as the Freak makes the most of twisting them as he drags them and chunks of Edward from the Ed's back ...

Slightly staggered Edward turns and unloads a wave of blows rendering down the Freak to a smear on the sewer wall ..... Ed throws him self backward as the splatter from the Feak uncovers one more Freak , ..cloaked ! .... too late he see the figure is fleeing .. and the cloaking field cuts back in before Ed can get back to his feet

Looking down at the hole in his body Edward find a moment to consider and realises these Freaks a way beyond the normal Bricktown trash ... these boys are top draw .. someone has moved in the Best the Freaks have to offer .. ... Ahead must be the gang base .. the way in which the cloaked Freak fleed ......

The door's lock never even tried to resist Ed's pull , inside the sewer was the standard cities layout , with its trademark smells and molds ....

Half way along the Freaks direction Ed felt the presence of other just around the turn .. the smell of drug laiden sweat , the slight metalic scratching of homemade cyberparts , ...more than 2 .. not moving .. waiting ..

The PPD did the basic job .. threw the two Freaks into the back of the Meat wagon , which headed off towards the Zig .. asked a few slow bystanders for a statment or two , .. then speed off back to safer parts of the city .....

a little blood and oil on the pavement the only tell tales of yet another of the cities early morning combats ......

a few minutes later a pair of Council recruites set up on the spot , their box of flyers masking the fluid stains ....

As the cyberblades of the Freak totlly failed to cut into Ed's demonic body , Smeg-Face having reloaded emptied the mag at Ed's head , a wild uncontroled burst of bullets ..
Smeg-Faces eye then spotted the ripped out arm of the Tank Freak , and he looked down at the hook that now served as his left hand ... visions of the Tiger returned as the contents of his bowels fleed ...

with the SMG still spitting out the last of the clips 9mmers Smeg-Face turned and speed into the scattering crowd on onlookers ....

... the sound of PPD sirens further encoraging people to run , the cyberblade bearing Freak final found his brain and peered worriedly at Ed's unshreded form

Leaking body fluids , some of a none biological nature , seem to have re focused the Freaks brain cells ..... as Ed ripped a few more cables from the arm socket .. " K k ill spill.... just stop it okies ..." seeing no pity in Ed's eyes of flame the Freak blurted out "" east side , darkwaters , that sewer inspection door , thats where we deliver to.. down and go left then left then left then right .. a big room of pumps thats the meeting spot .. thats all i know .. arr come on man .. i spilled it all ... "

More ! demanded Ed ... " is no more ....only his Freaks go further ..any one else gets fragged , Shad00w has a ton of guards .. big boys wiv lots of toys .. they could eat you up and not burp ... oh the garage .. cross from the door ....they keep trucks in there .. thats it .. 'strue .. is no more ... "

As Ed considered the Freaks tale two street Freaks walked into view , one instanly opened up with a wild spray from his submachine gun , the second , making no use of his brain charged towards Ed powering up his twin cyberblades .......

To Edward

FYO from PPD current files ...

Slashshade Freakshow Meat Doc ....started in the Isles .. normal back ground for the type ...disappeared c 3 years ago .. reappeared 17 weeks ago in the Paragon underworld .. seems linked to a small group of Freaks operating out of Bricktown... very protected ... lots of heavy hitters ...linked to new Freak gang boss Shad00w ..
may have built Shad00w ..... Note this Bricktown Freak group seems well equiped and well trained .....no info on who is leading them .. Shad00w seem to lead main raids ...

i hope this helps Michael

Edward's journey was interupted by the insistant beep beep -ing of his comm unit . Finding a quite spot , Ed activeted the unit , to find a text message .. from Doc Buzzsaw ..
what was your doctorate in Mechano ...your still a twit ..details you didnt tell me ... that Freak atttack the PPD id your Tank Freak as Shad00w .. he is no nictus carrier ... he has some of my ideas though ... magically-imbued prosthetics ... he draws his power from the Neatherworld ....oh and he had the work done in Paragon .. seek a Meat Doc called Slashshade ... End.

Kata's hunt for the Prof in the libaray turned out to be a no go , she picked up on the gossip that the Prof never entered the place , but a good place to find him outside of his office or lab was across from the university in the Cafe Coffee Cup .

It was clear the CCC was a university hang out , mainly for staff and senior students , the coffee cups having the least of the table tops to sit upon , as books , papers PDA's and laptops rule the flat surface areas of the Cafe ..

Fate was clearly in a good mood today for as Kata slipped towards her target she could hear the Prof and three others debating the green metal eating gas.....

The chatter confirmed that the gas caused the very rapid oxidization of any comman metal it encountered , the reaction causing a lot of heat , the actual nature of the catalyse part of the gas was still undesided as was who made it .. the talk revealed that the PPD where certain it was not the Freaks , for one reason that it made such a good anti-Freal weapon ... and this had lead to the idea the Freaks had got it from a rival in a raid or battle , the name Crey was mentioned a few times .. The danger of the gas to the Freaks was further clear from the PPD having found that the Freak Tank , going by the name Shad00w , had deployed the gas inside the building , targeting the office the Freaks had attacked ... and that a Hero or other third party had moved the gas outside .. where it caused such devestation ...

Fate , had it seem just brought herself a new pair of shoe , for her mood was so good , for Kata was able to see people where joining in to the debate with the Prof form a number of tables , she could slip her questions in with out revealing herself ....and as the Prof was clearly enjoying the sudden limelight he appeared to be making the most of it and playing to the crowd ....he indicated that the PPD where stuck .. the Shad00w Freak being a very powerful type they would need Hero help to try to arrest him , if they could find him... Kata metal sample was looked at and discarded as one of many , until one of the students pointed out that the undamaged side looked like the sample came from a computers hard disk .....leading the Prof to drop in the info that the PPD report said that the Freak spent some time trashing the offices computers and servers , before the fighting broke out .. another voice the butted in saying how good the gas would be at destroying any computer system and its data drives ....the Prof coming back with how the PPD were confused as to the whole reason for the Freaks being in the office .. trashing it but in the end only stealing a bunch of old out of date city plans and drawings ....mind you there was nothing of any value in the offices apart from the computers .....which lead back to one voice , was it Kata's , asking if any data could be on the metal fragment ...... a well maybe .. but you would need a real expert to get it back ..

here Fate had just opened her mobile phone bill , as Kata was soon lost it the change of debate , now focusing on the Universities lack of funding for its IT department , wasting it on music and dance , this rapidly countered by the cultrual defence league's students and staff...

Just as Kata was about to give up , Fate found a unopened tub of ice cream in the fridge .. Double choc ! ... one of the students turned to Kata say i know a guy who could read that data cost about $1000 , do you have funding ?........

In a skillfully hidden room a pair of miss matched eyes stared at the Jucier Freak .. " too many have seen , we need more smoke to blind them , tell Shad00w he will have to make a few visits , and contact Mu-zak's cell it time to start the new music ...." a smile , made crooked by three scars informed the freak to be on his way ...

seven blade tipped fingers sent a further message out via a very ood looking keyboard ... packets fled the room , scampering along the optical fibre carrying death and destruction with them as they danced across the web to fall into a mailbox ...

in a Galaxy City penthouse , with a stunning view of a famous statue , a small blue flag flashes upon a screen , telling the owner that they have new mail .......

The two where clearly focused on their own matters , ignoring the female rock band fan ...they chattered away , mixing a number of topics from beer to books to the Freak gas...

the facts to be gleaned where ..

1. the police where totally confused why the Freaks hit the offices of Autoscribe Technologies , trash the place steal one filing cabinet of old city hall documents .. then deploy a very powerful gas ..
2. the police have determind the gas was targeted at the offices NOT the heroes , a hero or third party moved the gas canister .
3. there where a number of heroes and or villians there that have not come forward to help the police.
4.There was a sniper rifle in action during the attack.
5. the Big dark powers using Tank Freak has been IDed as Shad00w , he is on the police files as a new Freak bossman .
6.As well as the office attack Freaks have murdered at least 3 other citizens in oddly unfreak like attacks
7. The PPD has offered the Prof police protection .. as they are worried by the strange Freak activity

As Time-Skip blurred away into nothingness , the trenchcoated Freak clambered out of the dumpster , and clicked on his comm unit , clearing congested lungs with a violent cough.. he reported ..." Ya nover cape some youngster in orange and yellow .. he ported i fink .. , na not eyed him afore ...ya the cops have cleared out , how much longer .. im hurting ...ok ok ya ill shout if any fink else happens im no noob ..out .."

checking around the Freak slitlered back out of sight .....

As Kata wandered around the Steel Canyon University's library , awaiting her companion , she found her ears drawn to a heated debate between to rather well dressed looking students .... "look what makes you think you know better than the Prof .. i mean thats why the PPD asked Him not you ..., " ... " all im saying is that it cant have been a polydipolaric iso acid , it must have been a oxy-Kraodiami lsyo enzyme as it attack a wide range of metals but not any thing else ..now where the Freaks got it is another question "..."yes well thats the PPD's job , but i still think the Prof is right .."

Hiyas ...remember every thing you hear is true ..

i have a 33 blaster in need of a job

"over here ..we got a live one " , the rest of the paramedic rescue team swooped on the clearly moving body of what appeared to be one of the office workers ...

The young women chating to the young policeman suddenly points and crys out "My god its Mr Jethkins my boss ..is he alright ..."

the so named MrJethkins disappers behind a screen of medics as tests and checks are done ...


finally the police have numbers and can start to herd the crowd away from the area ......

as the do the new vans final burst onto the scene ...spilling camera and mike carrying newhounds onto the pavement like hungry swarm . . . .

....the owner of the mis-matched eyes flickes the off switch and the monitor screen goes black ... "wow" , was the thought .. "that gas is way too nasty , i hope the collapse did the job instead "
The head bearing the eyes turns barking orders " ok phase 2 as soon as the truck is here ,i want the infomation ready by sunset tomorrow , too many have seen , to many will question , more speed NOW ! "....

The PPD's CIS van pulls up outside the semi demolished Office Block .... " arh Fxxk what the hell are we meant to do this this lot " ....

Across the street a young women appears from a side alley , looks at the state of her workplace , swears , and looks for a friendly faced cop to ask when she is going to be able to get back to work ..

(( note it was not me who put the silver canister 50 feet in the air ))

ping ping ping .... the time stopped the igniter fired ..inside the now airborn canister the core a shape charge of high explosives detonated .. spreading the vials of liquid outward in a perfect sphere , the force and the air causing the vials to break open , the liquid instantly converting to gas , and combining with the atmosphere to form a massive cloud of a deep dark green gas .. a gas quite a bit heavier than air ...it rapidly reaches ground level and settles on anything below it ......upon contact the gas reacts with any metal ..flaring in a bright white reaction as the metal is rapidly oxidized .. turn it into dust ...

the screams of the few trapped Freaks blotts out any other rsound ..as the metal of their bodies is burnt out of their flesh....

off to the right a parked car bursts into flames as its fuel tank is eaten away by the gas .. releasing the petrol on to the smoldering metal .....and even this explosion is drowned out by the Freaks screams .....

.. the silver canister went ping ping ping .....and then .....

... at the rear of the office block a Freak Tank size hole appears in the wall , the dark-flinging Tank hurried out and tosses a filing cabinet into the back of a pick up truck .. the truck drive releases the brake and it leaps away .. its over charged engine taking it beyond the speed limit in less than five seconds ...its dust trail covering its escape ..

the Tank turns an hurls a silver canister into the office block via the Tank shaped hole , turns and also speeds away ...firing off a radio message Plan B completed .. end ...

the canister makes a samll ping ping ping sound as it rolls across the floor .....

Even in death the Slayers eye held the hate that had fuel his final shot , however the mangled chest cavity spoke volumes of the Tiger-Girls power ..

even as the last of the Freak fell to the Heroes blows , bullets and blasts .. the office building .. the source of the fight groaned as steel failed under stress it was never planed to hold ... stone clading exploded into fragments , the few remaining widows disovled into showers of glass needles...the whole facade falling away from the building , sweeping Freak and hero into the middle of the street in a mishmash of bodies and rubble .....
